Quoting Pantheon:
Quote:
Alan Parker - unfortunately the Composer and Writer/Director were both born in the same year; so I have added the BY to the composer.


I don't know why on earth you'd append the BY to the lesser known Parker, when it's normally done the other way around?
Now there are tons of profiles with the director having the BY appended.
Even profiles you yourself "corrected" have been reverted, probably by default and no one voting "no" because they didn't think to check...
For example: UPC 786936823530.

And as another example here, JOHNNYV incorrectly contributed the BY:

Found two different Stephen Boyd:

Actor from Ben Hur etc.
born 1931
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Boyd
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000963/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1

Actor, e.g. Chicago Fire Season 6, no BY found
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10406116/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t30

Update: Unfortunately the gentlemen got as "Boyds" into the BY file, so please let me correct that we are talking about "Stephen Boyd". Thx

You're echoing my post...?

The BY  in the DB is already there, but for the wrong guy. And herein lies the confusion.
It's also annoying that if you don't have a title each for both crew members, once you add a title with an incorrect Parker (i.e. the director having a BY appended), your local DB will automatically add this BY to the director.

IMO the best thing to do was to revert this change and give the director the BY and remove the one for the composer, and then submit all the profiles. But I'm not sure how many incorrect ones there are at the moment.
I think this so as to not have any confusions for future profiles, seeing that, again, the DB automatically adds BY's, whereas it ignores them if a BY is removed.
So, if Parker the director, which is more common in the DB has a BY, it would be "locked" to the right person. And this is the reason why we normally use a BY for a better known/more common cast or  crew member.

Yes, to create a solid and comprehensive documentation, which Kluge can link to.

Which one is the right guy, is subjective. But the member documenting the BY on first hand has the power to make this decision. For the less known composer speaks, that there are less BYs to contribute to clean up the mess. For the better known director would speak, that the number of potential issues with the automatc corrections in DVDP were less. I usually decide to assign the BY to the better documented person - not applicable here.

... and vice versa, if you'd add it the other way around...

NO - this moving the BY from one guy to the other would cure nothing but set all existing BYs to be invalid - that's useless.

To get around the automatic correction, you do not need to have a title for each of them, but you need to have both of them in your cast/crew data base. Create the second one (without any profile) and you are safe. The only thing to keep in mind: don't clean up your cast/crew data base afterwards.

For all other cases, where there stands a BY against an unknown one, I use three entries:
- one for the person with the BY
- one for the other person with a dummy BY (as replacement for the unknown BY)
- and a dummy entry without a BY

When a new entry is added, it will be added either with the correct documented BY or without any BY. In the second case I have the choice to assign either the documented BY or the dummy BY to him. The DVDP automatics are cut off.
